14 Days…

Christmas is exactly two weeks from today, and I feel so ill-prepared for it once again. In reality, I don’t have a lot that needs to be done in terms of shopping; however, the shopping that I do need to do is for those most difficult to buy for. We don’t go crazy for Christmas though…thankfully! Yet it feels like I have so much to do and limited hours to get it all done.

make coffee, eat breakfast

blog

prep for bed and work the next day

It’s no secret that I am an introvert, that I am naturally quiet, but my job is serving and interacting with the public. Despite being an introvert, I do enjoy that aspect of my job, but it does drain my battery. I recharge best with quiet, alone time. I can also recharge in the presence of good friends in the right situations, but generally I need my own space. Today was not a typical day off, which means that I spent most of the day out and about and surrounded by busyness, noise, and people. It wasn’t a bad day, just draining. I desperately want to just chill tomorrow between my training session and my appointment, but I also know that would not be the best use of my time. If Christmas wasn’t in two weeks I could…
